(NYSE: WK), a leading, audit-ready platform for trust,\ntransparency, and accountability, unveiled dozens of new product and platform\ninnovations at Amplify 2026, the company’s annual conference attended by\nthousands of finance, accounting, sustainability, risk, and compliance\nleaders.\n\nWorkiva Debuts Agent Studio\n\nWorkiva introduced Agent Studio, a landmark platform capability that empowers\nusers to quickly build, customize, and deploy AI agents in Workiva's trusted\nplatform. By combining AI reasoning with Workiva's native platform\ncapabilities, enterprise knowledge, and governed workflows, Agent Studio\nenables users to automate sophisticated manual business processes without\nwriting any code. Organizations can enrich agents with company-specific\nknowledge and context, tailor them to their own processes, and schedule\nautomations to execute recurring work.\n\n“With Agent Studio, we're putting the power to build in the hands of the\npeople who know the work and their company the best. But what you build is\nonly as strong as what it's built on,” said Julie Iskow, CEO of Workiva.\n\"Every company has access to AI. What matters is whether your outcomes are\ntraceable, defensible, and can hold up in front of investors and regulators.\nThis is even more important as AI becomes more ubiquitous.\"\n\nWorkiva Broadens Regulatory Reporting Footprint\n\nThe release of three new agentic solutions marks Workiva’s expansion into a\nwider universe of reporting obligations and regulatory work. Starting with\nwhat has historically been highly manual regulatory disclosures, such as BEA\n(Bureau of Economic Analysis) surveys, US Census surveys, and\nCountry-by-Country Reporting, accounting and finance teams will be able to\nmanage a broader range of regulatory requirements within the same connected\nplatform.\n\nWorkiva Launches Automated Testing for Internal Audit and GRC\n\nThe new agentic solution accelerates testing while maintaining consistency,\ntraceability, and governance. By orchestrating evidence, attribute, and\ntesting agents, the solution replaces manual evidence collection, sample\nselection, attribute testing, and documentation with a purpose-built workflow\nthat provides full traceability at every step. The result is expanded sampling\ncapacity, broader risk coverage, and the ability to scale testing without\nscaling manual effort.\n\n\"Transformation requires genuine buy-in at every level of the value stream.\nThis work has always demanded process precision. Now it demands velocity,\ntoo,” said Keri Tracy, Chief Audit Executive of Newell Brands. “As AI\ntakes on more work, it frees audit professionals to focus on higher-value\njudgment, interpretation, and risk management. But that only works if people\ntrust the technology. When teams feel heard, valued, and supported through the\nchange, adoption follows naturally, controls strengthen, and the integrity of\nthe process becomes the foundation that withstands any audit or regulatory\nscrutiny.\"\n\nFor more information about innovations announced at Amplify, visit\nworkiva.com/platform/whats-new\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=http%3A%2F%2Fworkiva.com%2Fplatform%2Fwhats-new&esheet=54604126&newsitemid=20260915584662&lan=en-US&anchor=workiva.com%2Fplatform%2Fwhats-new&index=1&md5=745d9facd03c9a1f7f2934182a522347)\n.
